control over contact form required fields

This is also an important idea for people in other countries, whose contacts need to enter phone numbers that don't conform to the U.S. format. Here, in Honduras, there are no area codes, and the numbers are just ###-#### for regular phones, but ####-#### for cell phones. That means that, if I require the phone number field in my form, local people cannot enter their phone numbers, since the form has Javascript that won't allow them to proceed if the number doesn't fit the U.S. format. Although I can appreciate "error checking," if you are going to promote this service internationally, you must provide the means for it not to be so U.S.-centric.

Excellent! I would suggest rewording the contact-form edit page, though, since the way the option is stated now, it makes it sound as though visitors would have to know AND enter their actual country codes. Since a lot of people don't know much about country codes, I didn't want to discourage them from leaving a message, so I had not marked that option as required. Perhaps something like "Show country selection box" would be better - a little longer and less concise, but clearer as to what will actually happen on the form.

Thanks!
